I've never seen one here with antlers in April.

A member from PA posted a pic of a buck still with antlers during the first week of April. I thought it was very strange. Then I got this one on 4/17 and it blew me away! I guess he figures he'll just save some time and keep the ones that he has!

I wonder what happens when they are ready to start growing next years antlers. Any possibility that they could get mal-formed because of it? They should be showing some growth any day now right?

maybe they heard about antler restrictions and decided to hold onto their smaller racks as long as possible....

no doubt; looks like a 6 pt or something close to that. very unique indeed. definitely must help from getting bullied in the off antler season.
